Not One But Two Final Fantasy VI Monsters to Grace XIII-2’s Coliseum

Siliconera’s source has revealed that upcoming DLC for the never-ending story that is Final Fantasy XIII-2 will feature two monsters from beloved classic Final Fantasy VI. One has already been revealed: Typhon (or Chupon in the SNES version), a monster whose powerful “Snort” attack is strong enough to blow your party completely out of the encounter.

Later in VI Typhon becomes a combatant in the Dragon’s Neck Coliseum, which is run by — surprise, surprise — Ultros. It should also be noted that Typhon is touted as Ultros’s back-up or partner whenever you encounter the sleazy purple octopus. Could Typhon’s boss be the second fighter from VI to enter XIII-2‘s ring? Stay tuned!

A High Summoner from the Woods of the North (read: New England), Alexa and her ragtag band of comrades have saved the world from cataclysmic destruction countless times -- you just didn't notice. When she isn't writing or gaming, she enjoys baking, long walks at dusk, and cosplay.
